    The option to build arbitrary firmware into your kernel is never going
    to be pulled. You can do nfsroot on your myri10ge today, without initrd,
    even though the firmware is distributed separately from the kernel. That
    doesn't prevent you from building it _in_ to your kernel, if you choose
    to.
